"Undoubtedly better for the environment than a carnivorous diet"

I think this quote is extremely dubious. How many of these companies study what the beyond organic movement is going with restorative agriculture. Having cows eat and poop grass is a really good thing for rebuilding what industrial farming has done to acres of land across the US.

This just smells of short cutting a process very similar to industrial farming that got us into this position to begin with.

Here is a study by the UN that basically says to stop or reduce our meat consumption - as our current meat eating habits destroy the environment.

Would you welcome the scientific challenge, though? A couple new hypotheses to environment improvement?
